Start Tristan Thompson at power foward: Cavaliers Comment of the Day

With the Cavaliers losing games and, for all intents and purposes, out of the playoffs, The Plain Dealer's Cavs beat reporter Tom Reed wonders if it's time for Byron Scott to tinker with the lineup. Reed writes, "Why not shift starting center Tristan Thompson to his natural position of power forward and let Antawn Jamison come off the bench for the remainder of the season?"

The move might cost the Cavaliers some wins, but at this point, wouldn't the long-term benefit be worth it? In today's Comment of the Day, Bobby, suggests this starting lineup.

"The Cavs starting line-up from here on should be Irving, Harris, Gee, Thompson and Erden. That way it gives a PROPER examination of what TT, Harris and Erden can do.

Playing TT in PF can determine if he can play there. Starting Manny Harris only makes sense because he proved last yr he was a better starter than Parker, and what does starting Parker serve? Nothing going forward. Erden will be given another look too."

What moves would you make if you were Byron Scott? Discuss in the comments below.
